Already we see a few threads popping up about errors, so to help out, I've decided to make 1 thread for the translation fixes. If the need appears to have separate threads for each language, WE WILL MAKE THE THREADS. We have a way of doing so that will ensure each language thread remains organized so that the fixes can be handled swiftly. But for now, please keep all translation changes in here.

I'd like for there to be as little chatter as possible and just posts purely containing what needs to be fixed. A little chat is involved when there is a disagreement on how something should have been translated, but when both parties have come to a conclusion, it would be a great if you delete the posts that do not contain what needs to be fixed.

Suggested Format:

Language: -insert language here-Item in English: -insert item's english name-Translation in game: -insert exactly what it says in game-Suggested Translation: -insert your suggestion for the change-(Optional)Reason for the change: -possibly give a reason why the ingame translation is wrong-

Copy and paste below

Code:

[B]Language:[/B]
[B]Item in English:[/B]
[B]Translation in game:[/B]
[B]Suggested Translation:[/B]
[B](Optional)Reason for the change:[/B]

While you don't have to strictly use this format, it would make reading through for anyone much easier. Thanks!

P.S: Having more than one fix in each post is ok. Please do not double post and simply edit your old post.

Example:

Language: Bloh

Item in English: Blah

Translation in game: Bleh

Suggested Translation: Bluh

(Optional)Reason for the change: Bluh bluh bleh

Language: Heh

Item in English: Hoh

Translation in game: Hah

Suggested Translation: Hih

(Optional)Reason for the change: Hih hih heh hoh.

P.S:
Thanks everyone for reporting your fixes. It's very important the devs know their mistakes so that they can get fixed for when they're sold in other countries. But for a quick fix, here is The Translation Mod by Surfpup that allows you to modify the ingame text to suit your needs. People are also writing entire language packs as well. So, please report your fixes, but also fix the mistakes for yourself for a while if you want!

Translation in game: "Special" German letters (Ää, Öö, Üü, and ß) are not written in the way they should be, probably due to technical difficulties with the font.

Suggested Translation: Just change all the simplified letters into the real ones. Maybe not ß though since it's very likely that it really wasn't added yet.

Reason for the change:As I explained here, there already are some spots which contain these special letters. That means that the font is actually already optimized for this and there should be no problem in fixing this.

Item in English: In video settings, for "background on/off"Translation in game: De fond sur / De fond au large (I had to switch to english to understand what it was ;p)Suggested Translation: Arrière-plan activé / Arrière-plan désactivé

Item in English: While loading a world...Translation in game: Trouver les images de blocsSuggested Translation: Recherche des images de blocs

Item in English: "Close" button while speaking to NPCsTranslation in game: ProchesSuggested Translation: Fermer(Optional)Reason for the change: Same reason as JoanX for spanish

Item in English: You are not using the same version as this serverTranslation in game: You are not using the same version as this server (not translated)Suggested Translation: Vous n'utilisez pas la même version que ce serveur

Language:SpanishItem in English: "chest loot and deposit options"Translation in game: "ahorrar todo and saquear todo"Suggested Translation: guardar todo and sacar todo(Optional)Reason for the change: ahorrar means like "save money for terraria" and not "am gonna save my money in this chest" and saquear means like "stealing"

Language:SpanishItem in English: chestTranslation in game: chestSuggested Translation: cofre(Optional)Reason for the change:

also in spanish version a house without lights it's "habitable" what means situable
(the above needs to be reformatted. thanks -kirabook)

Language: German Item in English: close (in the npc-menu)Translation in game: in der naehe Suggested Translation: schließen (Optional)Reason for the change: "in der naehe" means close to something. "schließen" means close something. Which is used in this case.

Language: GermanItem in English: "[Name of Dryad] is a looker. Too bad she's such a prude."Translation in game: "*Dryad name* ist ein hübscher, zu schade dass sie so pruede ist."Suggested Translation: "*Dryad name* ist eine hübsche, zu schade dass sie so pruede ist."(Optional)Reason for the change: Same problem as above, ein would intent that the dryad is male... which would make the armsdealer........

Following suggestions i jotted down in hurry are just a couple of quite a few a german friend of mine and I found.

1.Language: germanItem in English: pixie dustTranslation in game: Pixie-StaubSuggested Translation: Feenstaub(Optional)Reason for the change: There's not such a word as "pixie" in the german language. Fee (n) is the correct term.

2.Language: germanItem in English: cable cutterTranslation in game: Kabel CutterSuggested Translation: Kneifzange(Optional)Reason for the change: Pretty much the same, even though the word cutter is frequently being used to describe a very sharp knife (Cutter knife - Cutter Messer). The term "Kneifzange" is way more common in the german language.
An Alternate would be "(Seil)kapper".

(Optional)Reason for the change: Spitz would be the wrong translation since it's no adjective . Placing the adjective previous to the name would make it look much smoother than the adjectives being bracketed.
(valid for all other items)

Dialogue option in English:CloseTranslation in game:ChiudereSuggested Translation:ChiudiReason for the change:“Chiudere” is actually “to close” when the in-game dialogue option clearly should be using the imperative verb, which in this case is “Chiudi”

Dialogue option in English: ReforgeTranslation in game: RiforgiareSuggested Translation: RiforgiReason for the change: See “Close”

Dialogue option in English: HelpTranslation in game: AiutareSuggested Translation: AiutoReason for the change: See “Close”

Language: German
Item in English: For example ,,Delete''
Translation in game: Loeschen
Suggested Translation: Löschen
Reason for the change: I know that American keyboards aren't able to write ,,Umlauts'' such as ,,ä'' for ,,ae'' or ,,ö'' for ,,oe'', but if possible I'd like to see that fixed because it hurts my Eyes when i see my first language spelled wrong in my favourite game. That's also the reason why I still play with the original language.

Hello everyone! Though its not officially supported, I have taken the liberty of translating the entire game into Swedish. If Swedish becomes an official language in the game in the future, here is the .ini file which could provide many fixes for future errors.
